We are enjoying Dr. A. M. Barrett's presentation at #ASNR2023 focused on the biomarkers we can use to predict how individuals with spatial neglect after stroke or other #brain injury will respond to restorative therapies. #neurorehabilitation #stroke #neuroscience #research

The #AANAM 7⃣5⃣ is going to be epic! 🎆🎇 But to be clear--and despite recommendations of certain members of the @AANmember Meeting Management Committee (you know who you are)--there will be no one jumping out of a cake...🎂
Join the @AANmember in Boston at the #AANAM to celebrate 75 years! You can also checkout all of the outstanding programs here: 👇👇👇 aan.com/events/annual-meetin

For all the med students wondering what specialty to pick here’s my advice as an attending who flip - flopped & loved many rotations in med school: Choose the field you love the most and miss when you’re on another service. Don’t choose a field based on stereotypes about it.

Today, let's remember that the first Memorial Day celebration was held on May 1, 1865 by Black people in Charleston, SC. As historian David Blight puts it, "The war was over, and Memorial Day had been founded by African-Americans in a ritual of remembrance and consecration."

My professor just told me that if we get a whiff of smoke it’s because another professor put the papers he was grading in the microwave to rid them of any chance of Corona Virus & then the papers caught on fire... I can’t make this stuff up people
